Einkil

This is a tale inspired by and written in honor of all fantasy stories. "Einkil" contains many of the glorious, cheesy, and cringe-worthy clichés that have defined fantasy across many forms of media, from tales of sword wielding anthropomorphized animals to tropes of TTRPG games.

Tyranny stirs beneath the largely peaceful kingdom of L'reon. Orc and goblin raids on towns have been increasing in frequency for no apparent reason. Within the valley of Mrawn lies the city of Fomrian, defended primarily by skilled duelist and elf-friend, Oren Fireforge. For the most part, Oren manages alright in the defense of Fomrian, but with the size and frequency of raids on the rise, his fall is inevitable. On that day, when Fomrian's defender fell, his cousin Einkil, a librarian in training, will take it upon himself to follow in his cousin's footsteps and become a defender of his home.

James E. Thomas is a compilation of several geek/nerd tropes. He proudly confesses to an avid excitement for every new episode of Doctor Who, bookshelves overflowing with fantasy and science fiction, leadership of several DnD games, and obsession with 100% completion in video games. When James isn't staring at a blank page trying to think of synonyms, he is most often found singing poorly to his ukulele, complaining about his lack of skill in a game, stressing over DnD scheduling, or sitting on his backside rewatching Mushishi or Gravity Falls for the umpteenth time.
